does bunny hiccup?

[Yu]

I observed this hiccup like motion my bun does, he does roughly 5 to 6 times where his whole body would jump/jerk I don't really know which word to use but it just look more like when we have hiccups and our whole body would jump/vibrate. I don't know if buns can have hiccups or is this movemnet normal?
he is eating is very normal, pees and poops  normal other than he like to pee in his food bowl -_-
he is really happy when he's on carpet and does tons of binky running around super happy…
oh, I forgot to mention that hiccup motion when his whole body would jerk is when he sit/lay down all relaxed with his foot all out.

My 4 month old Butterscotch does something similar. Looks exactly like hiccups- except mine will “hiccup” more than 4-5 times. Also when he is siting or lying down. I talked to my vet about it this afternoon. He said they don not usually get hiccups, but wondered of they were sneezes (without the sound…). He said it did not sound like anything to worry about as my bun is also eating/drinking/peeing/pooping/binkying etc. dies anybody else know anything about this?

Yup, my bunny Bindi gets hiccups sometimes when he is laying down. They are faster than human hiccups but still have the obvious “hic hic” movement.
